I came across this youtube video of a Bolex Video Manual. At minute 1:03 a photo of filmmaker Giuseppe Baresi is shown. In the background there is a Bolex (I think its a H16 M), with some type of motor on it. I attach a photo of it here. I can't make out the writing and I'm just really curious about this. Does anybody here know something about this specific device? Thanks!

Like the title, how would I achieve a motion blur on a bolex camera, as well as if I want the only thing in focus is someone standing in a crowd.

Hi, I am a student studying experimental film, and I am planning to shoot with the Bolex H16 J — whether for stop-motion, regular filming, or other experiments. I already own two Bolex cameras, but I am very interested in operating this particular model due to its unique charm. Due to financial constraints, my options are somewhat limited. I have three main questions regarding this camera: Using an unmodified Bolex H16 J: Since this camera does not have a viewfinder, I am curious about how to accurately focus and check film frames. If you know of any specific models or methods, I would greatly appreciate it if you could mention them. Modifying the camera for a viewfinder: Are there any known ways to equip this Bolex model with a viewfinder? I have seen that some people have done modifications, but I could not find detailed information. Stop-motion motor options: Are there any motors suitable for stop-motion with this camera? I have looked into Tobin and Revolution motors, but the prices are currently beyond my budget as a student. These are my three main options, but I would love to hear if there are better alternatives. Thank you very much for your time and attention. I look forward to your advice. Best regards,

Hello All! I bought a used Bolex Non Reflex at the beginning of the year, and it came with one 15mm lens. With it being a C-Mount and necessary for the lens to be Anti Reflex, I've been having a hard time tracking down and finding lenses that work with my camera that aren't absolutely busted or outrageously priced beaten up glass. With all of that being said, I'm looking for a small guide or list of what lenses work best with non reflex. Or even just some suggestions from people who had used newer lenses or adapted different lenses to the non reflex. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I recently purchased a Kern Switar 10mm f1.4 lens, which appears to be in good condition, for use on my Bolex EBM with a c mount adapter. However, when mounting this lens I encountered a strange problem where it would only focus at extremely close distances and leaves the rest out of focus. Seems like this lens is not in such great shape after all but wondering if anyone knows a fix? Thanks for any help! -

Hello, I recently bought a stuck non-reflex Bolex (1949) for pretty cheap. I took it apart, oiled it, and now it runs great. One small thing I'm unsure of is the pressure plate. You can see in the image that the plate is not perfectly aligned with the film gate, so there's a sliver of the shiny rail that's showing through the gate. I was wondering if this was normal, and if not, is it a problem? I haven't shot motion picture film before, so I'm not sure how opaque the film backing is, and whether or not it would prevent light from passing through the film and reflecting off the pressure plate. Thanks, Joe

Hi all, I have recently bought a Bolex H16 EBM. I have charged the battery for 15 hours and when I place it on the camera the red warning sign turns on and stays on (motor not working) I have searched it up and I know these old batteries (12V) can be defected. I tried again this evening and placed it on the camera, but then the light started to flicker and turned off and stayed off. The motor was not running at that time either. I’m scared the electronics inside the camera is defected? If so what can I do to make the motor work? I also know that the batteries to the camera may giving too less power, and that’s the reason why the motor won’t run. Would appreciate any help on this, since I’m all new to this camera.

Hi all, I just bought a Bolex H16 Reflex camera and noticed right away that the diopter adjustment ring is broken. There's a crack all the way through it, which means that the ring won't remain where I want it to be. Perhaps I can glue it together, but I doubt that would last very long. Hence I'm wondering if any of you know where I could buy a spare ring. Or if there are other Bolex cameras with the exact same ring that I could buy for a cheaper price without too much trouble? Any recommendations on how to fix this? Thanks!

So I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to add a video tap to a Bolex, and I recently came across this image showing a Bolex on a Steadicam with a LCD incorporated. I was wondering if anyone could give an explanation or idea as to how they managed to do this. My theory is, they took a small external camera and positioned it in the viewfinder, then outsourced it to the LCD so they could get a pretty accurate idea of exactly what they were filming. I'm not sure if they struggled with any latency problems, but if this was the case that would be pretty clever. Here is the setup:

Hey All, I'm looking for a Bolex H16 SBM in good condition. These seem to have become quite rare and are sold on ebay for ridiculous prices above the 3000$ mark. So if any of you can offer me a good deal for one, I'd be very happy. I'm located in Germany and willing to pay for shipping. Thank you!
